Obama’s Message to Schoolchildren
Sheldon Richman Campaign For Liberty March 11, 2010 When President Obama announced last August that he would address American schoolchildren in a nationwide televised speech, the Right went bananas. August, of course, was the height of the health-care controversy, and conservative leaders and media commentators imagined that Obama was going to make an overt pitch for his quest for government control over medicine and medical insurance, as well as other areas of the economy.

An italian casualty of war – kabul
Soldiers and civilians die in war and, in the blink of an eye, someone has lost a mother, father, brother, sister, son, or daughter.

New research: no good scientific evidence flu shots are effective or safe for elders
S. L. Baker Natural News Thursday, February 25th, 2010 According to none other than the esteemed health experts of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) web site, “… people 65 and older should get their regular, or ’seasonal’, flu vaccine as soon as possible…People age 65 and older are at increased risk for complications from seasonal influenza compared to younger people and are recommended for annual seasonal flu vaccines.” If that’s not enough to convince you older folks definitely need flu shots, try this proclamation from the National Institutes of Health (NIH): “You should get a flu shot every year if you are 50 or older …” It turns out, however, there’s no valid scientific evidence to back up these recommendations.
